THE FRIENDS of one of the tourists who
recently went "abroad strange countries
or to see" are anxiously awaiting to-
hear from him. In his hurry and haste
to catch the train, the amateur tourist
had forgotten his overcoat. He was
almost too late as it was; he had merely
time TO swing himself onto the rear
platform, and in a moment was lost to
view. From Ogden, however, came the
message: Send my coat to Denver
by express. The tourist is known
to have supreme contempt for
the fashionable progressive euchre,
and to prefer a quiet game of poker
when the limit does not run higher
dreary hours between Denver and New
York might he lightened as much as
possible the friend, in wrapping up the
coat, placed inside, in such position
that they would scatter in all directions
as sooA as anyone endeavored to put
the garment on, bran-new package of
playing cards. 1t is now alleged that
by the time Denver was reached the
Salt Laker had met clergyman and
his daughter, who had become much in
terested in our brunette. Soon after
Denver the shades of evening drew near.
and the chilly atmosphere suggested
the propriety of donning the over
coat. Begging pardon of his
new fair friend, the brunette unrolled
the package, and was in the act of
forcing one arm through the sleeve of
the coat, when a brilliant shower of
colored pasteboards fell into the lap of
the young lady. She looked up
in surprise, her father stared in aston
ishment, and the brunette. without
waiting to explain matters, rushed
wildly in the direction of the smoker.
1t has since been alleged that he set up
the buttermilk at the next stopping
place.
THE EDMUNDs-TUCKERl law, so says
lady friend, robs the average wedding
of much of its former pomp, and the
ceremony is now said to resemble the
giving and the taking of mortgage
more than the vows that make two one.
In witnessing a marriage now, one is
carried back to the time in which
the action of Gilbert and Sullivan's
Sofcerer was laid, and as bride and
groom both bend over the paper
to affix their signatures, it would not
astonish any one very much if the
mence, as do the lawyer and chorus at
the marriage of Alexis and Aline:
La,oyer-An is pre- for sealing and for

signing.
The Contract has been drafted as
agreed.

With hand and seal come execute

See, they sign without culver, then to seal
proceed;
They deliver it, they deliver it, as their act
and deed.
HERE'S YOUR Evening Blowout" sang
a ragged little urchin, as he ran across
the street last evening. Greatest
paper between the Wasatch corner
and Grants Livery Stable!"
some OF the streets cars are growing
a trifie old, and the noise produced by
them as they rattle over a not very
even track, is at times frightful. 1t is
at this supreme moment that the pas
senger turns his glance towards the
roof, and there discovers, in pretty
white letters, on a blue background. the
reassuring and comforting words:

contributing quiet and ease!'
THE GENTLEMAN WAS explaining to the
